I found ideas about marking payments as “waiting to be refunded” and other custom categories but I haven’t seen anything related to search.
In my transaction list, I see the incoming money items. Those can either be Top up, payments from friends, or refunds. Refunds usually take a few days and I might not see them come up in my transaction list as I make many payments daily or I might not open the app in days.
As a user, I’d like to be able to quickly search for my “positive / incoming / refund” money. I tap on search and see many category filters but they are all related to expenses.
This way I can quickly filter my list to see if that friend paid me or if that particular hotel I stayed in a month ago relly refunded the mini-bar charge.
I was just about to post a similar topic and this came up. I use Monzo as a spending account and transfer funds in via Faster Payments. I wanted to add up the positive, incoming transactions to see if a single standing order might be better, and couldn’t find a way to do so. Selecting me in the ‘person’ tag just shows all transactions since the start and I coudn’t identify this month’s.
It was quicker to go through manually.
Split bills or shared tabs are the way to go now if you want to track money owed. This topic is almost 4 years old and these features were not around then.
It’s better to keep it together so you did the right thing in bumping this one. But with 2 votes in nearly 3 years, I don’t see this one jumping out to Monzo.
I just checked the search and I do think it would be helpful if you could search for positive transactions, but if you search for >£100, it brings up any incoming payments that are +£100 and any debits that are -£100 too.
I do think something useful could be done with pending transactions.
Something like linking refunded pending transactions to their refunds (like how Bill Split payments show the linked transaction), and linking refunds to their refunded pending transactions.
